RE: The Rise Of The Human Spirit And The Fall Of The New World Order
Well done as usual my friend! @perceptualflaws knows and understands that creating content in this genre is more important now than it ever has been. IMO, it accomplishes a threefold purpose.
First, simply by us taking the time to think things through and condense our thoughts into a written form that is both lucid and easy to understand, we are able to reach many more skeptics and eye rollers and gradually bring them out from under the mass hypnosis.
Cognitive dissonance is an extremely difficult psychological aberration to overcome and like many of you have already said, those who rely heavily on the beast to survive will fight to preserve it even when they know something is deeply horrifying about it in the back of their minds. They've come to love their oppressor, what's it called, Stockholm Syndrome?
At least we are keeping the message circulating and allowing as many as possible to see it. After all, that has been the most successful tactic used in their propaganda campaign, repetition and exposure.
Second, those who are in the know but are still straddling the fence may need a little prod to get in the war. There are many I'm sure who know that things are rotten in Denmark but they just don't have a clue how to get involved. The best way to get into the fight is to just get in there and start producing content that is factual, rational, moral, and ethical. Social media has been a double edged sword as of late but the one tactic that is turning the tide in our favor is that any far left or statist argument falls apart under scrutiny by asking questions and using reason, logic, morals, and ethics to strip away the facade of their agenda. I watched a live stream today with Zuckerberg before the Senate and he made himself look like a complete novice because he would evade every single question asked. All the senators involved simply asked for a yes or a no answer and not a single reply was given. Instead, he retorted with dubious doublespeak and did waaayyyy more ass-kissing than explaining.
Thirdly, there are those of us who get weary in this war on humanity and your words give us the refreshment for the soul that we need. It puts us back in the game. Now they are so desperate to hang on to power that they are ready to drag us into another war to hide their crimes. It takes alot of discipline for me to not let the importance of getting the message out consume my life. It's a dark place down here in the rabbit hole tunnels. I'm thankful that I have so many other brave brothers and sisters that I have never met who are fighting alongside me and everyone else. You guys are more important to me than you'll ever know and I love each one of you for it!
Yes, I too am less than optimistic, but the awareness is developing that there are few places of genuine sanctuary left, that the dumbing down of our whole society is lowering the quality of life around me. I see it in my students - few sparks, but not many. But the counter-current is fractured and disorganised; too many cults believing their own beliefs. The most interesting work is within what can best be described as secular spirituality.
My feeling at the moment is that the message has to be crystallised into a few clear propositions - the counter-psy-op ;-)
Hey @mindszai thank you for taking the time to leave such a great and informative comment and I'm equally really glad you enjoyed the post. I really feel that within this world of increasing and oft manipulated division there are many bridges that can be built between belief systems. Indeed beyond the divisions of belief and culture the vast majority of us want the same things, we just have different perspectives on how to achieve them. Within that understanding there is a foundation for a unity that can be built upon.
Alas, people have become so indoctrinated into the system that they laugh at the suggestion things could ever be any different. Equally, the general consensus is that we're drifting through infinity on a spinning ball of life that's suspended within a temporary sunbeam and so surely from that perspective everything should be up for debate? Indeed it's not too difficult to grasp that a system that places more prevalence on what the Kardashian's had for breakfast than giving us time to explore the outer reaches of mind, body and soul is about distracting us and impeding not empowering our growth. At some level people are aware that something is very wrong for I believe that true knowledge/wisdom is hidden within the subconsciousness of us all, equally sometimes it takes others to paint the ridiculousness of this situation for people to see the bigger picture.
The task we face can (for many) seem insurmountable and so they retreat into themselves and fail to rise to the occasion. That said however insignificant we feel our actions to be, we each have a part to play in changing the world and this starts by being the change we want to happen, by treating people with empathy, compassion and respect .. this alone will make a huge difference to the world we inhabit and it's something we can all achieve on a daily basis.
In terms of becoming weary in our fight against injustice I really feel what you're saying, none of us are infallible and at times I too can feel a darkness that's akin to weight upon my shoulders. But you know my friend, for now and for free thinkers across the world ... this is our place and as our words echo through through the corridors of cyberspace if this is our stand then trust that I'm proud to be standing alongside you all. Thanks again @mindszai
Hey @mindszai. I like your insight. Having experienced a complete shift in perception seven months ago, I now find myself as one of those straddling the fence, struggling to swing that other leg over to jump across. I think it's because I feel out of energy from the shock of it all.
I'm constantly overwhelmed by the gut-wrenching grief I have for how things are and I don't know how to handle it. All I want is to help contribute to the evolution that @perceptualflaws talks about... but I'm so dismayed at my own abilities and individuality. I created a steemit account because I want so badly to help write a new story. I believe our salvation will be found in a mass mobilization of our collective creative expression. I can't shake this vision I have of our future as a beautiful celebration of vibrant color and worldwide self-realization... an explosion in our freedom of consciousness infinitely more spectacular than a catastrophic asteroidal impact. I want nothing more than to help paint this future with a unique shade of my own choosing, hopefully inspiring others in the process. But it's been months and I haven't done anything with my damn steemit account. I don't even know how to begin. Some days, I don't even know why I should begin. I don't know how to shake my fear. My spirit feels broken, along with many others, I'm sure... at a time our species needs it most.
@thispretzel thank you for reaching out and sharing your personal thoughts and perspective on the present situation of the world.
Like yourself, I found myself straddling the fence for a while, way longer than I wanted to. I have found the Great Awakening process in my own life to be akin to going through the common experiences of grief, and just like everyone grieves differently after losing a loved one, everyone arises in consciousness differently and at different paces. One may last a bit longer in a particular emotional state than the next person they brought to light. I felt spurned to action immediately after discovering that I had been lied to about everything, and my first gut reaction was to go and start telling people everywhere about the deceptions but I had to check myself.
I thought things through and realized that I'd be dismissed and labeled as one of those "crazy people" if I ran out into the world and began conveying a message that ran contrary to the way Westerners have been brought up in.
Socially programmed since birth, we all have been. If you never question why we do certain things or where particular rituals come from and what they mean, then you are just another lemming that is following the herd right over the cliff.
Once I stepped back, took myself outside of society's very constricting little box, and began questioning where all my notions and comprehensions came from, it was only then that I realized that my entire life up to that point had been a product of someone/something/some group/ or a group of group's design.
At that point, epiphany after epiphany began to come to me and I was blessed with the spiritual gifts of second sight and discernment. There is definitely a pervading duality in this life, consciousness, universe, or whatever you choose to call it. Two opposing forces exist in a paradox, with mankind caught in the middle.
It's a spiritual tug'o'war and man is being drawn in from both sides. We've been conditioned that we have to make a choice, how can we be sure that either side is not a trap or the wrong choice? I think the key is to keep from being polarized at all, and allow both positive and negative energy to flow through yourself, in essence, stay neutrally grounded.
